Screen freezing during market replay and getting verry laggy

During the market replay, it was very smooth like always.

However during the replay itself, I did the following changes:

- Gobal Setting > Tool Settings > Applying Tool Configuration to Existing Drawing Updates Text to No
- Started drawing more Marker using Marker Tool (10+)
- Started drawing more Risk-Reward drawings (5-6)
- Started writing more Text(around 5-6 boxes of 3ish lines)
- Trade Activity Log increased (definitely not significant, there's 20ish fills)

I referenced these changes to High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.33 - Dotted or Dashed Lines >= 2 Pixels in Width and tried relevant fixes for whatever changes I made.
But, it is still very very laggy.

Was there any changes made or any advice comes to mind in my particular situation?

PS: Safe mode did not help

Make sure the Replay Mode is Standard Replay:
Replaying Charts: Replay Mode

You need to stop the replay for it to go into effect.

Also, check how many Chart Drawings there are in Tools >> Manage Chart Drawings Window. Hundreds or thousands of them will have a performance impact.

Yup, I have been using Standard Replay and I have only about 80-ish drawing.

I also realize that text has high impact if I put too many, any reason why? (I only saw High CPU Usage | Inactive User Interface | Poor Performance | Long Time to Load Chart Data | Charts Reloading Often: 30.33 - Dotted or Dashed Lines >= 2 Pixels in Width and not anything text-based).

I will erase all my drawings and update back :)

Yes you can erase all the Chart Drawings and not save the Chartbook, so you can restore them, and see if that solves the problem.

I used to have a lot of drawings on the chart too, and I tried to replace them with Subgraph by ACSIL coding as much as I can, the performance definitely improved.
